Here's what's coming to Netflix in December 2019

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) -- As the weather turns colder and the extended families visit more often, you might find you and yours gathered around the television in search of entertainment. Fortunately, there's a new cache of Netflix titles to choose from.

Here are five that caught my eye.

Marriage Story

With 2019 coming to a close we turn our eyes to award season and last month Netflix gave us Martin Scorsese's fantastic new film "The Irishman" featuring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci. This month we get Noah Baumbach's emotionally devastating "Marriage Story" starring Scarlet Johansson and Adam Driver. The story follows Nicole and Charlie as their marriage disintegrates into a protracted custody fight. Baumach's script is fantastic and the cast is equally good. (Available 12/6/19)

Joel Edgerton stars in "It Comes at Night," a psychological thriller with horror elements from writer/director Trey Edward Shults ("Krisha," "Waves"). An outbreak has pushed society to the point of madness. Paul, his wife and their teenage son live together in an isolated home in the woods. They are not alone. (12/9/19)

The Two Popes

With "The Two Popes," director Fernando Meirelles (“City of God”) teams with screenwriter Anthony McCarten ("Darkest Hour," "Bohemian Rhapsody") for the story the story of Cardinal Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) and Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins). Looking to retire, Cardinal Bergoglio is called to Rome by where he is presented with unprecedented offer. Pryce and Hopkins are particularly good. (Available 12/20/19)

The Witcher

Based on Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's tales of Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher or monster slayer for hire who has spent years training in combat and magic. "The Witcher" promises to take viewers deep into a dark fantasy world filled with political strife as humans, elves, witches, gnomes and monsters fight for control of an unnamed land. As someone who has played his way through the video game "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" numerous times, I'm excited to see the stories play out in a live-action series. Hopefully the adaptation is as strong as the source material. (Available 12/20/19)

The Secret Life of Pets 2

I'm still a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed "The Secret Life of Pets 2." I wasn't a fan of the first film; the second is far better. There are three storylines that eventually come together. I'm most fond of Harrison Ford's performance as Rooster, a farm dog with a gruff demeanor and a big heart. (Available 12/27/19)
